Mark Frederick entered into rest Monday, December 19, 2016, at Methodist Hospital in Omaha, surrounded by his loved ones.

Mark was born to Robert and Carol (West) Frederick on June 1, 1963, in Blair. He graduated from Blair High School in 1981. He graduated from DeVry Institute of Technology with a Bachelors of Science in Electronic Engineering in 1987.

After graduating, Mark had the opportunity to work for a private contractor for the military. This opportunity placed Mark working at Fort Rucker in Alabama and Fort Sill in Oklahoma, where he maintained helicopter flight simulators. Mark and Debbie then lived in Aurora, NE for two years while Mark was employed by RJE Electronics. Mark had been employed by Mid America Corporation (MACC) in Blair for the past 25 years.

Mark had a zest and a love for life and always had an easy going and kind demeanor. This was evident as Mark always had a smile and a kind word to share. He enjoyed spending time with family and friends and always had a story to tell about the latest escapades of the grandkids or the family's many critters. He had a passion in life which was evident in his love for hunting, fishing, motorcycle cross country traveling, and his enjoyment in maintaining the family home and acreage.

Mark married Debbie (Breithaupt) and enjoyed 30 years together. He is survived by his wife, Debbie; three daughters, Amanda (Alex) Highfill, Ashley (Jason) Hull, and Whitney Frederick; grandchildren, Faith and Samuel Hull; mother, Carol Frederick; brother, Todd Frederick (Kim) of Lincoln; sister, Kim Petersen of Tekamah; brother-in-laws, Ken Breithaupt (Mara) of Verdigre NE and Jim Breithaupt (Barb) of Blair; mother-in-law, Eileen Breithaupt of Blair.

He was preceded in death by his father, Robert Frederick, and father-in-law, Joseph Breithaupt.
